What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Peru is actively seeking to increase oil output by opening new offshore blocks and reviving a shut Amazon field. Perupetro expects to sign five or six license contracts before the end of 2026. TotalEnergies is expected to sign two exploration contracts for offshore blocks Z-70 and Z-71, while Petrobras and QatarEnergy are also weighing entry into Peruvian offshore blocks.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The government's push to secure new licenses and attract foreign capital is a direct effort to reverse a decline in oil production. Peru produced 39,440 barrels a day in September, which was 6.9% below the same month in 2025. The interest from major global oil companies tests Peru's ability to attract new foreign investment.
